In the back mountain of Yunlan Sect, Yunshan's aged voice slowly spoke, gradually drawing Yunyun and Nalan Yanran's minds into a scene that had once taken place here.
"If I remember correctly, the Jia Ma Empire hasn't produced a Dou Zong realm expert for hundreds of years!"
Yun Shan paused slightly. "But I'm not resigned to this. I've been at the peak of Dou Huang for ten years, and my realm hasn't budged. After Yun'er reached Dou Huang, ensuring the sect wouldn't decline, I made a decision—to go into seclusion!"
"Teacher!"
"Grandmaster!"
Yun Shan waved his hand slightly, indicating the two shouldn't worry, and continued, "However, the Dou Zong barrier, which no one has broken through for hundreds of years, truly stumped me. Just when I was about to die in the violent Dou Qi conflict, Protector Lu appeared." "
He not only helped me stabilize my Dou Qi, but also promised that if I did one thing for him, he would help me advance to Dou Zong. At the time, I was blinded by greed. How could a pie suddenly fall from the sky? He had already secretly marked the price!"
"You all know what happened afterward. If it weren't for Master Lin Feng's intervention, the Yunlan Sect would probably be destroyed by now!"
Yun Shan sighed dejectedly. Everything was because of him. Perhaps, the Yunlan Sect, which had been passed down for countless years, was destroyed because of him.
"Yun'er, Yanran, you should go down the mountain after this! Either go to Canaan Academy in the Black Corner Region, or go to the Central Continent for training. If one day you can advance to the legendary Dou Zun realm, perhaps the Yunlan Sect can be reopened."
"Teacher, why is it like this? Wasn't Protector Lu killed by Master Lin Feng and the others?"
Yun Yun was puzzled and even panicked when she heard her teacher's words. She had grown up in the Yunlan Sect since childhood and was now the sect leader. Now that she heard that the sect was going to disband and she was going to leave, how could she remain calm?
"Yes, Grandmaster, with you, a Dou Zong expert, here, what crisis could the Yunlan Sect possibly face?"
Looking at the two people with panicked and confused expressions, Yunshan sighed again, his expression full of self-reproach.
"You don't know, but when I was talking with Protector Lu, I learned that he has a Dou Zun level figure behind him. This is what I just said: without a Dou Zun, there is no chance to reopen the Yunlan Sect. Moreover, judging from the title, he is at most a mid-to-upper-level figure!"
"Teacher, Grandmaster, please allow me to enter the Gate of Life and Death for seclusion!"
"Yanran, you..."
"Teacher, there's no need to say more. This loss to Xiao Yan has finally made me realize that there are always people stronger than me, and there are always higher levels to reach. Moreover, the Empire has a genius like Master Lin Feng. If I only cultivate normally, I will only fall further and further behind others."
Nalan Yanran's expression was resolute. After more than a year of fighting in the Monster Mountain Range, this already decisive girl was even more unwavering at this moment.
"I support you!"
Just as Yun Yun was about to say something, Yun Shan continued,
"The disciples in the sect have indeed lived too comfortably in the past. Although it's a bit late to say this now, Yun'er, Yanran, if Yunlan Sect has a chance to rebuild in the future, we must temper the disciples' character!"
At this point, Yun Shan took out some pills from his storage ring and handed them to Yun Yun.
"Yun'er, these are the pills I obtained after exchanging our sect's cultivation techniques with Master Lin Feng. They contain not only Royal-grade pills but also the Five Elements Pills developed by Master Lin Feng. Once you reach the Six-Star Dou Huang realm, taking these will instantly boost your level, elevating you to the Dou Zong realm and freeing up a lot of time. Of course, Yanran, you have a share too."
Taking the storage ring from her teacher, Yun Yun's face showed no joy. Since her teacher had exchanged the sect's cultivation techniques, it meant that the Yunlan Sect might truly disband from this day forward. "You needn't be so formal," Yun Shan said, seeing the reluctance on his face
. "I've advanced to the Dou Zong realm, and can live for many more years. It'll be a perfect opportunity to pursue my youthful ideals and travel to the legendary Central Plains." He changed the subject, seeing the reluctance on his disciple's and grand-disciple's faces. "Perhaps when we meet again, I'll be holding your children!" "Master!" "Grandmaster!" Upon hearing Yun Shan's words, the reluctance on Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran's faces vanished, replaced by a blush. Seeing their shyness, Yun Shan seriously considered their future, then shook his head slightly. Children and grandchildren have their own destinies. After chatting for a while longer, Yun Shan handed the sect's inheritance to Yun Yun and then disappeared from their sight. "Yanran, I will also be going to the Black Corner Region for training. After you emerge from seclusion, if you are interested, you can come to the Black Corner Region to find me. A year later, I will go to the Central Continent to find a way to advance to the Dou Zong level or even the legendary Dou Zun level." After Yun Shan left, Yun Yun suddenly made up her mind and told Nalan Yanran about her plan. "Teacher, if I am still not out of seclusion by then, I will also go to the Central Continent to find you!" A few days later, everyone in the Jia Ma Empire learned of a shocking piece of news: the Yunlan Sect, the uncrowned emperor of the Jia Ma Empire, had suddenly announced its disbandment. When this news reached Lin Feng, who was far away at Canaan Academy, half a month later, he smiled knowingly. "It seems that Yun Shan still has some self-awareness and listened to my advice!" When Lin Feng returned to the cave where Xiao Yi Xian and the others were in seclusion, he found that Zi Yan and Xiao Yi Xian were still not out of seclusion. Cai Lin had come out of seclusion once, but when she found that Lin Feng had not returned, she left a note and continued to go into seclusion. Seeing this, Lin Feng had no choice but to enter seclusion. However, aside from his main Dou Qi cultivation, he also took out hundreds of cultivation techniques of varying levels collected from the Jia Ma Empire and began to study them carefully. Having reached the Dou Zong realm, although he possessed the Dragon Emperor's essence blood, his progress was still considerable, though far less than before. Now, he could appropriately dedicate some time to researching his own self-created cultivation technique. Lin Feng didn't want to give up the formidable combat power brought by the Five Elements Dou Qi, especially after witnessing Xiao Yan's Buddha's Fury Lotus; Lin Feng felt a slight sense of urgency. Although Lin Feng had already reached the Dou Zong level while Xiao Yan was only an eight-star Great Dou Shi, Xiao Yan's progress, thanks to the Burning Flame Technique, was beyond everyone's imagination. Even though Xiao Xun'er was surprised by Lin Feng's cultivation speed, once she truly returned to the Ancient Clan and witnessed the improvement in bloodline power, she would no longer take Lin Feng seriously.
